Life history and cold storage of Amblyseius cucumeris (Acarina:Phytoseiidae)

Details were determined for the life history of the phytoseiid mite, Amblyseius cucumeris , with first-instar western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis as prey. A. cucumeris completed development in 11.09, 8.74 and 6.25 days at 20, 25 and 30 degree C, respectively. The mean egg production wa...

Zusammenfassung:	Details were determined for the life history of the phytoseiid mite, Amblyseius cucumeris , with first-instar western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis as prey. A. cucumeris completed development in 11.09, 8.74 and 6.25 days at 20, 25 and 30 degree C, respectively. The mean egg production was 1.5 plus or minus 0.99 eggs per day. In cold storage tests, after 10 weeks, 63% of A. cucumeris survived at 9 degree C; 1.2% survived at 2 degree C; and 0% survived at -8 degree C.
